There is no place like Southern Oregon’s Wild and Scenic Rogue River. It reigns high on many “best of” lists for a reason.

Ever since my first rainy Rogue River trip in 2010 with Northwest Rafting Company, I’ve been hooked. A rafting trip is filled with so many activities — it is hard to name them all. The river is a place where everyone can be a kid again, do cannonballs off jumping rocks, sleep under the stars and not worry about what is going on in the rest of the world. I cherish the long, hot, sunny days working hard and having fun. Watching people enjoy the river and being outside keeps me coming back.
